I don't think there was any disrespect to SC football intended. If Georgia is anything like SC, high school Football only slightly edges out baseball in terms of popularity. In Texas, it is all football. Besides, when you get to the 'elite' talent, I think it has more to do with population than any specific states program.

Do you think Clowney would only have prospered in SC and not if he had been born in GA and went to UGA?
